Organic food. Pros and Cons. What do you know about this?

Organic is simply a marketing term. It costs more to raise food organically, so farmers charge more for it.

Both the USDA and the British Food Standards Agency have said that organic food is no safer or nutritious than conventionally raised foods.

A 5 year long study on the advantages of organic food over "traditional crop" by a few ASEAN [not a typo that is ASEAN - Association of South East Asian Nations] nations concluded that organic food is no more safe nor dangerous compared to "traditional crop"... "Organic" is just a marketing ploy to sell you veggies and fruits at jacked up prices... Don't fall for it... Organic crops are too expensive o produce, have low yield and are of the exact same nutritional value as the rest of them and cannot answer world hunger concerns... Oh and it might also interest you to know that the impact of organic crops on the environment is no different from the antagonised variety... So organic farming is not more environmentally friendly as previously assumed...
